Detachable Suction Handle for Compact Outdoor Cookware Lids
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing outdoor cookware lids with handles increase the volume of cookware sets when stored or carried due to protruding grip parts, and when used as dishes, the handles can cause instability and a negative aesthetic impact.
Innovation Solution
An outdoor cookware lid with a suction handle that is detachable, allowing the lid to be compacted when stored and used as a dish, featuring a circular plate with a suction attachment mark and a handle with a center post and slide guide for easy attachment and detachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a handle is provided on the lid for gripping during cooking, then ease of operation is improved, but the volume of the outdoor cookware set increases when stored or carried
Solution Approach 1:
The handle is divided into two separate components: the lid body and the detachable suction handle. This segmentation allows the handle to be removed when not needed, reducing the overall volume of the cookware set during storage and transport, while still providing gripping functionality when required.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle transitions from a static, permanent attachment to a dynamic, detachable connection via suction. The suction mechanism allows the handle to be easily attached when needed for cooking and detached when storage space is prioritized, creating a dynamic configuration that adapts to different usage scenarios.
2Ease of operation
If a handle is provided on the lid, then ease of operation is improved, but the appearance and stability of the lid when used as a dish deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the handle from the lid body, the lid can be presented in a clean, handle-free configuration when used as a serving dish, improving its aesthetic appearance and stability. The handle component can be completely removed and set aside, leaving only the smooth lid surface.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle is extracted as a separate, removable component that can be completely taken off the lid. This extraction eliminates any visual obstruction or stability issue when the lid is used as a dish, while the handle remains available for attachment when cooking operations are required.
3Volume of moving object
If multiple lids with handles are stored together to reduce volume, then spatial efficiency is improved, but the complexity of attachment and detachment increases
Solution Approach 1:
The traditional mechanical fastening system (screws, clips, or snap-fits) is replaced with a suction-based attachment mechanism. This substitution simplifies the attachment and detachment process to a simple press-and-release action, reducing the operational complexity compared to multiple mechanical fastening components.
Solution Approach 2:
The suction handle utilizes pneumatic principles through vacuum suction to attach to the lid. This pneumatic attachment method provides a simple, tool-free, and quick connection mechanism that reduces complexity compared to mechanical fastening systems, while enabling easy attachment and detachment for storage purposes.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The suction handle reduces the volume of the lid when stored and allows stable use as a dish by detaching, improving spatial efficiency and appearance without the risk of burns during detachment.
Implementation Method 1
a suction plate (101) extending like a flange from a lower end portion of the body (100) so as to be fixedly attached to an upper center portion of the circular plate (10) by suction

AI summary
The present invention relates to an outdoor cookware lid including a suction handle, and more particularly, to an outdoor cookware lid including a suction handle that is easily attachable using a suction plate and easily detachable to reduce the volume of the outdoor cookware lid when carrying the outdoor cookware lid. The suction handle is detachable from the outdoor cookware lid to reduce the volume of the outdoor cookware lid when storing the outdoor cookware lid. The suction handle may be used with other lids, thereby reducing the volume of lids when carrying lids. When the outdoor cookware lid is flipped and used as a dish, the suction handle may be detached from the outdoor cookware lid so as to stably place the outdoor cookware lid and improve the appearance of the outdoor cookware lid. The suction handle may be easily detached from the outdoor cookware lid in a simple manner by pressing a head provided on an upper side of the suction handle to remove adhesive force, thereby preventing a user from being burned. The suction handle may be easily attached to the outdoor cookware lid in a simple manner by placing the suction handle on a center portion of a circular plate and pressing the suction handle.
